I got mail today, and I feel like it's my birthday all over again!

Australian customs wanted to have a bit of a sticky beak, and they didn't do the best job of putting it all back together, and the scissors that I keep in the car have gone missing, so all the way home, this taunted me.

And look at all the goodies inside! It was like Mary Poppins bag, everytime I pulled something out, there was still someting else there :)

Canadian candy! Chocolate! And Fleece Artist sock yarn!

Look at those colours :)
The yarn feels as heavenly as it looks, I swear!
And the final gift in the little wooden box is spectacular. I took off the lid, and look what I saw.

Little white paws!

Polar bears. Hand carved from Star Marble Stone. Gorgeous, aren't they?
I feel like a spoiled kid :)
Thank you, Alexis!!

What a great parcel! That sock yarn looks lush. I just realised what a mess I made of my comment on the previous post, what a dill! Sorry :)
I also thought Smarties were just Australian too!
